OUR MISSION Take Stock in Children (TSIC) is a nonprofit organization, transforming Florida one student at a time. Working in every county throughout state, and administered in Charlotte County through the Charlotte Lo- cal Education Foundation, the mission of TSIC is to break the cycle of poverty for low-income, academically qualified students by providing opportunities for a post-secondary education. They offer college scholarships to students, providing caring volunteer mentors, and instill hope for a better life. Their comprehensive services begin in middle school, continue through high school, and include students’ transition into college and career. Take Stock in Children was founded in the early 1990s to combat a troubling and persistent dropout rate that plagued the public school system in Tampa. Created by a local education foundation with the backing of concerned community leaders, the initiative sought to give high-potential, low-income students the resources they needed to graduate from high school, go to college, and set their course for life. Funding for TSIC scholarships comes from corporate and community partners. Every dollar raised is match by the Florida Prepaid Foundation, dollar for dollar. Donate to CLEF today to help us fund the next generation of college graduates. For more information, contact Sharon McNeal, P: 914.255.7500 x294.

A Trailer Full of Back to School Supplies Thanks to the generous support of community donations through CLEF’s business partners, Charlotte County Public Schools’ students are able to begin the new school year ready to learn. CLEF’s business partners collected items such as pencils & pens, glue, paper, backpacks, and more. Additional supplies were dropped off at CLEF’s Teacher Supply Depot for teachers to pick-up throughout the school year for their classrooms. The Depot is open Mondays & Wednesdays, from 2-5 p.m. Business Partners included: Burnt Store Isles Association Charlotte County Tax Collector’s Office Charlotte State Bank & Trust CCPS Champs Café Fifth-Third Bank McDonald’s Peace River ABATE St. Charles Catholic School Suncoast Credit Union Sponsorship Opportunities for You Model United Nations (MUN) Our high school students compete at the national and international level of academic competition through a program called Model United Nations or MUN. This program allows students to learn about diplomacy, international relations, and the United Nations. MUN involves and teaches research, public speaking, debating, and writing skills, in addition to critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership abilities. Students who participant in MUN are referred to as delegates, and are placed in committees and assigned countries or occasionally other organizations or political figures, where they represent members of that body. They are presented with their assignments in advance, along with a topic or topics that their committee will discuss. Delegates conduct research before conferences and formulate positions that they will then debate with their fellow delegates in committee, staying true to the actual position of the member they represent. At the end of the conference, the best- performing delegates in each committee, as well as delegations, are recognized as winners. Our Port Charlotte HS MUN team has a record of unparalleled academic success. It is by far the most successful competitive program in the history of Charlotte County Public Schools: PCHS UMN has earned a Best Delegation Award at every major international MUN Competition held at prestigious universities such as Harvard, the University of Chicago, Georgetown University, and the University of Pennsylvania. To win this recognition, means that PCHS’ team out performed (defeated) all the other 150 or so schools, head to head. The PCHS MUN team has won well over 50 other championships including 8 consecutive state conference championships, 18 consecutive southwest Florida Regional Championships, and 12 consecutive Southern U.

SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. Nancy A. Ory Paul A. Cicelski Laura M. Berman Lerman Senter PLLC 2001 L Street NW, Suite 400 Washington, DC 20036 Tel. (202) 429-8970 April 19, 2017 Their Attorneys -ii- SUMMARY In this Petition, WSBS Licensing, Inc. and its parent company Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (“SBS”) seek modification of the television market of WSBS-TV, Key West, Florida (the “Station”), to reinstate 41 communities (the “Communities”) located in the Miami- Ft. Lauderdale Designated Market Area (the “Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA” or the “DMA”) that were previously deleted from the Station’s television market by virtue of a series of market modification decisions released in 1996 and 1997. SBS seeks recognition that the Communities located in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties form an integral part of WSBS-TV’s natural market. The elimination of the Communities prior to SBS’s ownership of the Station cannot diminish WSBS-TV’s longstanding service to the Communities, to which WSBS-TV provides significant locally-produced news and public affairs programming targeted to residents of the Communities, and where the Station has developed many substantial advertising relationships with local businesses throughout the Communities within the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA. Cable operators have obviously long recognized that a clear nexus exists between the Communities and WSBS-TV’s programming because they have been voluntarily carrying WSBS-TV continuously for at least a decade and continue to carry the Station today.

  • List of Directv Channels (United States)
    List of DirecTV channels (United States) Below is a numerical representation of the current DirecTV national channel lineup in the United States. Some channels have both east and west feeds, airing the same programming with a three-hour delay on the latter feed, creating a backup for those who missed their shows. The three-hour delay also represents the time zone difference between Eastern (UTC -5/-4) and Pacific (UTC -8/-7). All channels are the East Coast feed if not specified. High definition Most high-definition (HDTV) and foreign-language channels may require a certain satellite dish or set-top box. Additionally, the same channel number is listed for both the standard-definition (SD) channel and the high-definition (HD) channel, such as 202 for both CNN and CNN HD. DirecTV HD receivers can tune to each channel separately. This is required since programming may be different on the SD and HD versions of the channels; while at times the programming may be simulcast with the same programming on both SD and HD channels. Part time regional sports networks and out of market sports packages will be listed as ###-1. Older MPEG-2 HD receivers will no longer receive the HD programming. Special channels In addition to the channels listed below, DirecTV occasionally uses temporary channels for various purposes, such as emergency updates (e.g. Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Ike information in September 2008, and Hurricane Irene in August 2011), and news of legislation that could affect subscribers. The News Mix channels (102 and 352) have special versions during special events such as the 2008 United States Presidential Election night coverage and during the Inauguration of Barack Obama.
